let’s cuttle: Oh Plesiosaur pin review

Feast your eyes on this sparkly cephalopod! I may have spent a good amount of last week gushing about my love for ocean sunfish, but the mola mola’s biggest competition for my favorite sea creature has to be the cuttlefish.

Oh Plesiosaur released this shiny enamel pin just days after I returned from our trip to Monterey. It was destiny! Now I can wear it to work, hoping it will catch some wayward museum employee’s eye and make them wonder which alien-of-the-sea is hanging out on my lapel!

Oh Plesiosaur is “a one-woman illustration studio, inspired by nature and puns.” Considering that those are also my two greatest inspirations in life, it’s no surprise that I love everything that she makes! (Including this adorable business card, which I have yet to turn into a functioning papercraft plesiosaur. Soon!)

The cuttlefish arrived on a backing card in my beloved oceanic teal–suspended in a bubble!

That’s is such a cute pin. I always feel like cuttlefish are one of the underrated cephalopods, Squids and Octopi always get more attention (and more people know about them) even though Cuttlefish are so cute!
